Susannah MacMillan

My artistic practice is informed by deep research into place achieved by living and working in the same environment.I am inspired by the wildness, heritage and sense of place from my home on the Keills Peninsula and West Coast of Scotland.

​Running and maps are the resources I use and method I practise. Running the terrain is an essential part of my work. I incorporate the element of journey and my work describes the experience of moving through a landscape .I orienteer as a sport as well as running and this further informs my practice.​As well as working from my studio at Keills I often travel to the Outer Hebrides.I particularly love the these islands, and their exposed raw wildness.

I am also interested in exploring the crofting way of life which much of my Hebrides work seeks to record.

​I trained at The Glasgow School or Art in the Drawing and Painting school.
